NOME, Alaska (AP) — Make it three Iditarods in a row for Lance Mackey.

The musher from Fairbanks has won the 1,100-mile trek across the wilderness in the famous sled dog race. And it wasn't even close.

Sebastian Schnuelle (SHNOO'-lee) was running in second place Wednesday, with John Baker in third. They are both hours behind Mackey, but ahead of a storm that forced other mushers farther back on the trail to take shelter.
